1. Offense:
a) What OL change to counter 8 or 9 in the box against the Cowboy run game?
b) What change in RBs to counter the 8 or 9 in the box?
c) What is Des routes this week?
d) QB options for this game?

2. Defense:
a) Do we use a five DL to stack against the run?
b) No middle LB as he does nothing now to use extra DL man?
c) Use Safeties instead of CB for more run support?
d) Go on attack and send the FARM on blitzes?
:facepalm::huh:

Sweeps screens move Dak around allowing the receivers to get separation and forcing the defense to back off and respect the pass
Once you do that and keep a balance you'll see some amazing runs by the RBs

Defense is simple use some of that speed in the back 7 and attack he did it during the Miami game last year and towards the end of the game last Sunday let's hope he gets it through his thick skull this week

Offense:
Get receivers who catch the ball in critical moments and ones smart enough to remember to do what they are coached to do?
Discipline players who can't get the job done or do the opposite of what they are coached to do? Benching is a wonderful tool.
Mix up the route trees and put some receivers in motion.

Defense:
More talent on the line is the only true way to fix things, but to cover over lack of talent:
I'd do a couple of more blitz packages and maybe a safety up for run-stopping on occasion.
That can't happen a lot because of the lack of pressure on the QB. It gives him all day to let the receivers lose their CB coverage. The CB's need help when there's no pressure.
Even if we had great CB's, they're going to get beat if the QB has all day. We don't have great CB's.
With that in mind, the CB's need to jam the receivers on the line HARD. They need to stop playing 5 to 10 yards back.

I'd throw Wilcox as a CB on a play. Depending on how the offense lines up, he could either hit the WR hard on the line or go for a CB blitz. Line Carr or Claiborne as a Safety but have them cover the receiver that Wilcox would stop covering if he blitzed. Why Wilcox? He's likely the hardest hitter on the team. If he can flatten a QB, it's going to affect his mental game.

The first thing we need to do on offense is go on ATTACK MODE. NOT, go with what "they give us" mode. You have the weapons Jason, USE THEM TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Cannot even imagine what Bill Belicek would do with this talent (or Arians etc.). GET IT IN GEAR!
